Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Parkway Appraisals.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

Quite a few North Carolina homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
